Thinking of Lenny and his wife and children as the 12th year approaches. Lenny was my childhood neighbor across the street.
Everyone knew the Hatton's.! Lenny's dad, so big and strong to us little kids back in the 60's was a squared away RP Police LT. and a volunteer fireman always in service... And Lenny followed that Dutiful, Honorable call....When not serving in the FBI he was a RP Volunteer Fireman too. Always giving back, always in service.....
Lenny was serving up until the moment the Tower collapsed.
God knows how many people he helped save.
Thank you Lenny, I'll never forget you.!


Praying for Lenny's wife and children.

I grew up with your children. Little did I know I had the honor of spending years with a hero, an angel on earth. We had spent time with our FBI family just that summer... we didn't know it'd be our last goodbye. THANK YOU. Thank you for blessing us with your presence. Thank you for sacrificing your life. Thank you for being our hero. It's been ten years now...our tears are not fewer but our hearts ache a little less with each year passing. Lenny, you will never be forgotten. 'Til we meet again.

Lenny,

I have only met you a few times and what you did on that tragic day to try and save as many people are you could meant a lot to the people and friends that knew you. I could not consider you a close friend but one thing is for sure I am
glad I had the opportunity to meet and individual of your stature.

I am sure your brothers at the bureau are doing their best to keep this country safe so we all can sleep at night.

Rest in Peace

It's hard to believe it's been almost 9 years now...
Lenny lived just across and down the street from me on 4th st, Lenny's father was a LT. with the RP Police Dept when I was a kid.
I have no doubt Lenny is resting in peace in the arms of God reunited with his dad and is a HERO in heaven.
I cannot imagine what it must be like for his 4 children not having him, but I pray God has given them the strength and courage that their BRAVE HERO father, LENNY had.!


Rest in peace Lenny, You'll always be remembered, remembered as a HERO.!

I had the honor of meeting Lenny at the FBI Academy, Quantico, Va. His quiet confidence and capacity to think was disarming. I'm not certain his classmates ever recognized what they had. I have every confidence that, given his full measure of seeking and excelling at the difficult, Lenny would not object to the method of his death. That is with the exception of separation from his family. Lenny was and is a "good guy". You either understand that or you don't. "Good guys" aren't that plentiful. His family must know he rests in the arms of God. Thanks Lenny for your sacrifice.

SA Hatton,
You and all fire, LE, and military who shed blood on and after 9/11 are in my thoughts. While most of America forgets, those of us who fought overseas and now carry the shield will never drop our guard or underestimate the ruthlessness of our enemies.
